Critique
This is much better than last 2 attempts. But a new issues with this, now that I closed the aperture too f/6.3 to get the whole leaf in depth of field, the background bokeh is gone, it is all clutter. Background in the grayscale is somewhat tolerable but the colour one is just horrible. As the distance from the subject to the background is not high enough, this problem can’t be solved for this particular leaf. The main issue being the leaf is not in a single plane and has twisted endings which does get sharp with wide aperture.
Tomorrow I will hunt for new subject. May be I will stick with my 35 mm tomorrow too, it’s is light and less tiring.
